Walking the wall

Walk the Wall was a performative, sculptural, installation that took place in 3 different city parks as part of San Diego’s Park Social initiative. I made 400 wooden boxes from shipping pallets collected throughout the county. The performance consisted of dancers building and unbuilding the wall while dancing to salsa music. In a cheerful, optimistic, slightly dark way this piece speaks to the very mutable character of borders, walls and the “ownership” of space. It’s an intervention that creates a space of invitation and collaboration. The wall becomes a point of mobility and playfulness that shapes space and brings people together in celebration of our uniqueness and similarities.
